Excerpt from The Change Your Life Challenge

Before We Begin...

“Look at your past. Your past has determined where you are at this moment. What you do today will determine where you are tomorrow.”
- Tom Hopkins

I believe that you and I have a similar goal. I doubt you desire another book with ideas that do not work, which ultimately ends up dusty and requiring storage on an already-packed bookshelf. I do not want any dust on my book.

You want to change your life, or some part of it. Since 2005, this program has helped thousands of women, and it can help you too. But one solution will not work for everyone. I have paid close attention to the many success stories and what these women have in common.

You have likely read books in which the author spends paragraph upon paragraph advising you to put down the book and actually do an exercise or write something down. Yet many of us keep reading anyway. The author then puts big black letters or a stop sign to try and jar us from our habitual, inactive reading. We keep reading anyway. After all, we can always go back to the exercise, right? Certainly the book isn’t going to walk away. Besides, maybe it makes more sense to read the whole thing through first—and then go back and do the activities. Right?

Or how about this: when was the last time you enrolled in an interactive program (school included) and completely disregarded instructions, avoided homework, and never took notes?

Simply put: you cannot apply these materials to your life successfully without doing the work. The women who succeed are active participants and apply the Steps thoroughly.

This program is not called the Think Your Life Challenge. You cannot do this all in your head. Success requires implementation, participation, and observation of personal patterns, goals, and desires. If you want to stop the tireless search for a solution and are ready to start living the solution, please proceed to page 3 and let’s get started. The future awaits you!
